|
From far outside |
|
Earth's fragile atmosphere |
|
It's clearly apparent that the end is near |
|
The sleeper wakens and removes |
|
His golden casque |
|
Vital signs return to his quiescent craft. |
|
He is truth - a word to the wise |
|
Gods children are so young |
|
They cannot realise |
|
The difference between extinction |
|
And life is now only a matter of time. |
|
In the beginning was the knowledge |
|
He had carried far across |
|
The great unknown |
|
Millenia have passed since he walked |
|
On the savannah where the seeds |
|
Of life were sown. |
|
Yet even deep in slumber he could hear |
|
His children blunder to destruction |
|
The caretaker of creation placed a fail-safe |
|
At the heart of his construction. |
|
Technologies intended |
|
As mans slaves mutated |
|
Now they are his masters |
|
The trust they place in progress |
|
Only serves to bring |
|
The last days nearer faster. |
|
He is truth - a word to the wise |
|
Gods children are so young |
|
They cannot realise |
|
The difference between extinction |
|
And life is now only a matter of time. |
|
I can see the oceans |
|
Stagnent and overflowing |
|
Filled with man made waste discharged |
|
From my cosmic auditorium |
|
I view this crematorium |
|
That is your world at large |
|
My ears hear the wailing of your children |
|
In a future close at hand |
|
Just as it was before - so it may be again (If you don't try to understand)... |
|
The seas will rise before your very eyes |
|
Until they swallow up the land |
|
If your polar ice caps melt |
|
The cards are dealt |
|
And you have died by your own hands |
|
I will never help you while you still persist |
|
In acting like you're blameless |
|
I would rather let your species die forgotten |
|
So your folly remains nameless. |
|
He is truth - a word to the wise |
|
Gods children are so young |
|
They cannot realise |
|
The difference between extinction |
|
And life is now only a matter of time. "When to mischief mortals bend their will How quick they find the instruments of ill." |
